- IN BUYING MOOD. Karena Hotels Inc., an Orlando-based subsidiary of a British hotel company, recently acquired a Texas property, the Grand Hotel in Houston. Karena has said one of its goals is to acquire more hotels in the Houston area. It also plans to open a regional office to serve that city.

Karena is a wholly owned subsidiary of Buckingham International PLC, a publicly traded company with six hotels in Orlando and six in the Channel Islands, which lie in the English Channel off the coast of Normandy, France.
